Tips and Suggestions on Prosciutto Skewers

Choosing the right melon

The sweetness of the melon is a key component of this dish. Ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon is ideal, and it's important to select melons that are firm but yield slightly to pressure.

Slicing the melon

The melon needs to be cut into even-sized pieces to ensure that it cooks evenly. Try to cut them into bite-sized pieces that can easily be skewered along with the mozzarella and prosciutto, spend a few moments on our article 10 Tips for Guru-Style Cuts.

Preparing the skewers

The skewers need to be soaked in water to prevent them from burning on the grill. Use small skewers to ensure that the melon, prosciutto, and mozzarella can fit on the skewer.

Wrapping the prosciutto

When wrapping the prosciutto around the melon and mozzarella, try to keep it tight to encase the ingredients. One slice of prosciutto can be used to wrap each skewer, but you can use more if needed.

Grilling the skewers

Prosciutto-wrapped melon and mozzarella skewers should be grilled over medium-high heat. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the prosciutto is crispy and the cheese is melted.

Serving the skewers

These skewers make great appetizers or a light lunch. They can be served with balsamic glaze or a drizzle of olive oil and some cracked black pepper. Fresh basil leaves can also be added for an extra pop of flavor.

Assembling the skewers

When assembling the skewers, try to keep the skewers tightly packed with the ingredients without overcrowding them. This will ensure that they cook evenly on the grill.
